Geography - Going Places (activity available on Seesaw with voice instructions)

Right now, going places is a little tricky because of the pandemic. Before the pandemic, it was much easier to go to different places. We could go to school, go to the shops, go to a friend's house, go on holidays. Have a think about some of your favourite places to go before we needed to stay home. Some people found it difficult to go places before the pandemic. Look at the picture, and talk with someone at home about how money, distance and weather may affect being able to visit places.
